Griffin tries to right winless Rangers vs. A's

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers need something to go right for them after a disastrous start to the season.

Maybe it will come in the form of A.J. Griffin.

Texas is turning to the right-hander Friday to start a three-game series against his former team, the Oakland A's.

Griffin will try to right the direction of a Texas team that is off to its first 0-3 start since 2007 after twice blowing ninth-inning leads against Cleveland.

Griffin trusts in his abilities to get the job done against an Oakland team that Griffin has never faced after winning 21 games for the A's in 2012-13.
